Class 3
Ms Harwood welcomes you to Class 3!
Hello, welcome to Class 3's home page, in Class 3. In our class we are ably assisted by Mrs Kim Sparks who supports our learning by taking groups in Maths and English, with additional support offered to individuals and small groups in the afternoons. We teach years 4, 5 and 6 and we follow a rolling programme of study. The children are all very friendly and they display strong Christian values; working well together and offering support and encouragement to their classmates. They rise well to the school’s expectation of being super role models for the younger children across the school and they really delight in a creatively rich curriculum.
Together, we are a happy team!
We welcome parental involvement, so if you have any questions, offers of help or special skills to share with us, we would love to see you.
Homework
The expectation for homework in Class 3 is that your child reads at least five times a week (some of which to an adult) and records this in their Reading Log. Spelling homework is to practise the words on the Year 3/4 and 5/6 Statutory Word Lists and sometimes words are set to practice at other times too. Maths homework is to practise multiplication and division facts on Times Tables Rock Stars and to complete the weekly MyMaths tasks. Log in details are in the front of your child's Reading Log. A creative home learning challenge is set at the beginning of each term; details of which can be found on the Class Curriculum Map (which can be found at the bottom of this page).
At certain times of the year, Year 6 homework expectations will include additional work focusing on reading comprehension, maths and SPAG - books will be sent home at the appropriate time.

Autumn Term in Class 3
What a jam-packed term we have had in Class 3. We have so enjoyed learning about the Anglo Saxons with our trip to Wildwood, really capturing the children’s enthusiasm for the subject and extending their learning even more.

We have also been really busy in Science exploring sound and learning about how our ears hear and how sound is produced and heard. The children loved making their own kazoos as they were able to feel the vibrations and alter the pitch and volume for themselves. My goodness they explored them to the max!
It was great to take part in England Rocks on TTRS, further cementing their skills to better grasp the increasingly more complex maths they have been learning on multiples, factors, primes and fractions etc.
The children gave a brilliant multi-layered djembe performance as the culmination of a very enjoyable unit of work with Ms Williams and in February 2026 Jackdaws will be coming into school to help us celebrate a ‘Year of Brass’ so our Music ambitions are only growing.
What a busy term it has been, but frankly we are all excited for what is to come…Merry Christmas everyone from all of us in Class 3.
